Help to shape the future of animal welfare
It's a good feeling to leave something behind that will outlast your life
What remains when I leave?
Many animal rescues and educational measures could not be carried out by Gut Aiderbichl if there were not many animal lovers who consider our work and animals in their last will and testament, regardless of whether they are animal owners themselves. They understand the situation and consequently support the far-reaching efforts of Gut Aiderbichl, whose value-conscious actions they appreciate.
It can neither be overlooked nor suppressed: Animals, whether we call them “farm animals”, whether they live indoors or wild and free – they are not safe from our inhumanities and unreasonableness. They are abused, enslaved, degraded to victims – at home and globally. But more and more people are realising this and reacting.
The Gut Aiderbichl Foundations
The three charitable foundations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland were founded by Michael Aufhauser. Dieter Ehrengruber has managed the entire administration of Gut Aiderbichl since 2002 and is a board member of all three foundations. He is supported by a management team that has contributed for many years to making Gut Aiderbichl what it is today. We provide insight into how we keep animals at all times and work with great success on the future of our institution, to guarantee also sustainability.
Our charitable status guarantees that every inheritance remains free of inheritance tax and is used for a specific purpose. After all, the example of animals is about respect for life in general, and therefore also about ourselves. And at Aiderbichl we attach great importance to the fact that it is not just about large sums or inheritances, every euro is needed and appreciated. One man, who has been an Aiderbichl resident for years, regularly donates around 50 cents to us. We don’t see this as a touching gesture, but as a mission. This applies to all donations, wills and legacies.

We bring animal suffering and species extinction to the public. Whenever possible, we draw attention to abuses, take immediate action and try to alleviate the suffering of animals. Publicity and attention in the media involves a great deal of time and research. With your support, we draw attention to animals in need and thus sensitise people to animal welfare.
